Iconic ’90s Beverage Crystal Pepsi Is Coming Back for One Last Epic Goodbye

Do you remember Crystal Pepsi? If you were around in the early 1990s, your answer is most likely, yes. A monumental PR fail, Crystal Pepsi was widely derided at the time. (What was so wrong with normal, non-clear Pepsi in the first place?) But somewhere along the line, Crystal Pepsi crossed over into a different territory. These days, the beverage is considered to be something of an ’90s icon, a quintessential symbol of the decade. Hearts have mellowed on Crystal Pepsi with the passage of time. (You know what they say, absence does make the heart grow fonder.)

PepsiCo is seemingly aware of this. That’s why the soda giant recently announced a “Crystal Pepsi Throwback Tour,” which will culminate with the beverage’s limited return to supermarket shelves next month. On August 1, the tour will commence with a concert featuring Busta Rhymes. On August 11, Sugar Ray’s Mark McGrath will perform at Phoenix’s Chase Field. And finally, on August 13, Salt-N-Pepa will close the tour by throwing the first pitch at Miami’s Marlins Park. Then, the next day, Crystal Pepsi will hit shelves. Retailing for $1.79, it will be the cheapest taste of nostalgia you’re likely to ever get. So go ahead, get ready to stock up.
